Id agree with that Im not a fan of the blotchy designer looks tbh....dont mind misbars so much but muddy white meh.
Lightings are cool looking but no way am I paying that much for one(or any fish coral ever...sorry. not sorry it's a fish come on)
I hate them because they make it impossible to spot feed coral in a nano... They overeat and create a lot of mess also. They are pretty aggressive as well in nanos often killing the other inhabitants over time. I would like them in a large system though they have a lot of personality.
7yrs reefing, never owned one never will. Hate is to strong a word but I really dislike them.

I love clowns! The ones today that are captive bred are so much hardier and disease free compared to the ones that were wild collected. The wild collected ones had real problems with oodinium. My female is very territorial and jumped out of the tank when she attached my finger when I was adjusting the heater that was in her territory. Of course, it didn't hurt me, but it was startling.

I'll say it, cause there a holes! That's why, lol. Mine attack me every single time my hand goes in the tank. I know there the staple of this hobby to most people. Mine are going to a tank of their own very soon.

The only thing I hate about clowns is that you normally can only have two!

honestly this is really all up to personal preference. there are lots of popular fish that others don't like. For example. I love wrasses... Except I don't really like the fairy and flasher wrasses. To me they look like fancy beta fish.
Now I think there is another category of fish that people don't like and that is fish that are natorious for causing trouble.

I agree that tomato clown fish can be quite aggressive. I have one in my tank but everyone else in there is also aggressive which is why my tank is working-lol. I have a yellow tang, tomato clownfish, blue damsel, 3 stripe damsel which is the most aggressive of damsels, and a black chromis which takes care of himself. There is always a little rough play but it only lasts seconds because all my fish will fight back-lol. They're all aggressive which is why they have lived together for over 2 years with no deaths. I wouldn't advise anyone to set up a tank with this much aggression but I have found that it works and none of my fish have ever seemed stressed.

It kind of became an ongoing joke that we 'disliked clowns". That's where we got the idea for the T-shirt from.
